Christian Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
Do you struggle to get out of your own head? Do people say, "you're too hard on yourself"? Is there a role you're afraid to apply for, a relationship you're afraid to pursue, or a leap you're hesitant to take? Building self-esteem is not about accomplishing more "to do's" on your checklist--that only builds situational confidence. Building self-esteem is really about removing the beliefs and blockages that keep you from experiencing your intrinsic value. Simply put, (like the statue of David) it's not about adding, it's about removing. Together we will explore what has led to the lack of self-esteem and work to get remove the beliefs that keep you from feeling confident and fulfilled.

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
We all have a negative belief of self that connects to our experiences in the past affecting how we function in the present. Understanding what is under the surface of these dysfunctional thoughts can help us overcome the negative beliefs that can make it difficult to thrive. My hope is to help people improve their self worth and feel empowered to thrive in any situation.

Self Esteem
Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Low self-esteem in teens is easy to miss, partly because so much of it looks like something else. It can show up as perfectionism, as not trying at all, as apologizing constantly, as needing a lot of reassurance, or as a teen who won't put themselves forward for anything. Some of the most confident-seeming kids are the hardest on themselves in private.
Comparison makes it worse, and teens now live inside an unprecedented amount of it. The measuring stick is always there, always updating, and always someone else's highlight reel.
I work with teens on what's underneath the self-criticism, not just the surface of it. Where did they learn to talk to themselves that way, and who taught it to them? We look at those beliefs directly, and build something steadier in their place. Alongside that, we work on practical things: recognizing what they're actually good at, setting boundaries in friendships, tolerating being disliked, and speaking up for what they need.
The aim isn't to convince your teen they're great. It's to help them relate to themselves with less contempt, so that failing at something stops meaning something about who they are.
